A fly-on-the-wall docu-reality parody about modern American office life, THE OFFICE delves into the lives of the workers at Dunder Mifflin paper supply company in Scranton, Pennsylvania.

Regional manager Michael Scott (Carell) is a single, middle-aged man who is the boastful tour guide for the documentary. With unshaken enthusiasm, Michael believes he is the office funnyman, a fountain of business wisdom and his employees’ cool friend.He has no clue that his employees tolerate his inappropriate behavior only because he signs their paychecks. Painstakingly trying to be liked and look cool, Michael comes off alternately absurd and pathetic.

His prize possession is his “World’s Greatest Boss” mug which he had to buy for himself.
